"Pay attention not only to the cultivation of knowledge but to the cultivation of qualities of the heart, so that at the end of education, not only will you be knowledgeable, but also you will be a warm-hearted and compassionate person." ~ His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

I know John, and we’ve talked about his poetry before. He’s a bit of a classicist, not in any formal sense but in the sense that he eschews “raw” and “edgy” in favor of intimacy and reflection. Or, as the press release from FutureCycle Press puts it: his poetry “weaves universal themes and images with the basic human reality of touch, word, and what is lost in their translation.”

I’m not sure. I think I must have mentioned it, being a shameless self-publicist. As soon as it goes live on the publisher’s web site, I’ll let you know. It was supposed to be this month, but there is very little of ‘this month’ left. I’ll also sort out a pdf review copy for you. Keep reminding me by email – I have a memory like a sieve.
